Product description:
Cashew leaves are a perfect natural botanical for both bioactive terrariums and aquariums. They add a very realistic “forest” touch, create refuge areas, and contribute to a more stable and natural environment.
In terrariums, they serve as litter and gradually break down, which can help support the microfauna (isopods/springtails) in a bioactive setup. In aquariums, they are appreciated for encouraging biofilm (grazing area) and for releasing a small amount of tannins, creating a more natural atmosphere for the tank inhabitants.

Highlights:
100% natural
Versatile: terrarium + aquarium
Adds texture, cover, and hiding spots
Promotes biofilm (great for shrimp)
Releases light tannins (possible amber tint)
Often used as decoration + supplementary food for shrimp (depending on tank population)

Usage (terrarium):
Place the leaves on the substrate (surface or targeted areas)
Lightly mist to speed up integration
Replace as needed when well decomposed

Usage (aquarium):
Rinse quickly
Ideally pre-soak for a few days in dechlorinated water to help them sink faster
(Option: boil for 1–2 minutes — but they may degrade faster afterward)
